Essentially, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) commissioned a pamphlet explaining people’s rights, and one translation was requested specifically for the Creole-speaking Haitians living in HUD-provided housing in Miami. However, instead of translating into French-Creole, the sub-contractors (Thorner Press of Buffalo, N.Y.) created an English-Creole version. English-Creole is a dialect commonly spoken in Jamaica.

The Haitian government, when viewing the result, asked if it was some kind of racist joke.

So recline in your knitted beanie, roll a Camberwell Carrot, and enjoy the words of Secretary Andrew M. Cuomo Fella (head of HUD).
